Feeding stray cats is encouraging problems. Compassion would be to find them a home or get rid of them.
The gas station owners make little profit per gallon; they have to charge according to what their supplier charges.
I live in Azalea Towers and from time to time we don’t see eye to eye but when it comes down to it, we are all a loving family.
How does an old person fix expenses? Help with a suggestion instead of criticism. More then 3/4 of America is struggling now and they are not elderly. I have to pray that when you are old that you have a different attitude. If you live comfortably help someone who isn't. This person may go without food, and medical help. Doesn't sound like that bothers you. You sound heartless.
I would like to thank the gas station owners of Valdosta for preparing for the shock of gas going back up. They have kept the prices close enough to $4 a gallon so when it hits again I am ready for it. I feel sorry for Tifton ($361.9) and Waycross ($355.9). It will take some adjusting for them.
A big rave to the employees of Ray Norton who made sure the lady in the electric wheelchair got down Connell Road safe. It’s good to know there are still people who care more about others than they do themselves.
I would like to request respectfully, a stop to the mean-spirited, self-centered, moronic person who continually advises ranters to move from this area every time an issue arises that is different from his/her narrow-minded intolerance.
I agree that some deserving people were left out of TitleTown. We need to include Chris Hatcher in that statement. He was a player for VSU before he became a coach.

It’s interesting that everyone seems to be raising the millage rate because of the economy. Do they not realize that we, the citizens, are suffering from the rising cost of gas and food as well and at the end of the month we have little or no money left? Maybe they should be better stewards of what money they have rather than taking more.
Big rave for Richard Steltenpohl your 3v3 soccer program was great this summer. Three national championships at Disney.
Thank you VDT for taking away Beetle Bailey. Sure would be nice if you brought it back.
Thank you to the 911 call center, VFD, VPD, and EMTs who responded very quickly to the vehicle accident at Covenant Baptist on Sunday morning.
People seem to complain about the restaurants in Valdosta and start rumors about new restaurants coming in. Have you ever eaten at the family-owned restaurants downtown? The restaurants are great and they are not the heat and eat, pay $100 chain establishments.
Two things that Remerton could do to meet the budget would be to stop throwing away money on “retreats” and “consulting” fees.

Thank you, John Daly
The South Georgia Classic golf tournament at Kinderlou Forest has typically been a big draw for golf enthusiasts, eager to see the next crop of professional players as they compete for their PGA Tour Cards on the Web.com tour. The three pro-ams are packed with amateurs eager to match their strokes against the pros, and the Classic has become as much a social event as a sporting event.

Recognizing South Georgia youths
“The young people of today think of nothing but themselves. They have no reverence for parents or old age. They are impatient of all restraint. They talk as if they alone knew everything and what passes for wisdom with us is foolishness with them. As for girls, they are forward, immodest and unwomanly in speech, behaviour and dress.”

Thumbs up
THUMBS UP: To Dr. Ray Perren and Dr. Shawn Utley. Next week, Perren leaves as Wiregrass Georgia Technical College’s president to take a similar position in another state technical school. On Wednesday, May 1, Utley becomes Wiregrass’ interim president. He is a Valdosta State alum, having earned his graduate and post-graduate degrees from the university.
